The
Church and Community
The
village of Aldbury, including the community at Tring Station within
the district, numbers approximately 1000 and includes a core village
community which has lived in Aldbury for generations and an increasing
proportion of affluent professional families of all ages, many of
whom commute for work in London. The church is close to the
centre of village life and is actively involved, with village groups,
in the successful annual open gardens scheme and May Day festivities.
It is a picture postcard village with a pond and village green,
village shop and post office and two pubs and is very popular
with tourists, many of whom, together with school groups, visit
the church. Details of current village events can be found in the
monthly Aldbury Outlook magazine.
St
John the Baptist church is a Church of England (Anglican) church
of the liberal catholic tradition using both Common Worship and
the Book of Common Prayer. The All Age Worship Service is
especially well attended not least because of the strength of the
Junior Choir. We are part of the Tring Team Parish.
